Political dynasty · settlement · journey

A government should
outlive its ruler.

The premise

You are not building a reign.
You are building what remains.

Every ruler inherits a living state: its stores, institutions, relationships, promises, and scandals. Survival is only the first test. The real measure is whether the next ruler can govern what you leave behind.

  1. 01 Inspect Read the hall, its people, and the pressure beyond its walls.
  2. 02 Decree Spend scarce resources and accept the constituency you create.
  3. 03 Endure Advance time and watch today’s answer become tomorrow’s problem.
  4. 04 Succeed Select an eligible successor, then name the new ruler.

Playable prototype

One polity.
Different seats of power.

The current comparison build preserves one deterministic state while its residence shifts between distinct political identities.

Room-scale control

The residence is the interface.

Select rooms, compare two decrees, and see resource and physical consequences before the day closes.

A five-day test

The Founding Trial.

Floods, spoiled stores, rumors, and displacement test the estate and the road beyond it.

People in the machinery

Pick up the Steward.

Drag one resident between valid posts while assignment remains deterministic simulation state.

Campaign foundation · in development

Four rooms keep
a country alive.

The long-campaign simulation now models continuous, pausable time and fixed production. A room produces nothing until a living steward is assigned—and that steward’s aptitudes determine the rate.

The transfer of power

Every reign ends.
The player chooses what follows.

  1. 01
    Rule reaches its end

    A term expires, a monarch dies, or a dictatorship falls.

  2. 02
    Time pauses

    The campaign cannot continue without legitimate control.

  3. 03
    Select the eligible

    Choose from living candidates who satisfy the government’s rules.

  4. 04
    Name the ruler

    The player confirms the incoming ruler’s name before time resumes.
